OVERVIEW

About

The Geared U.S. Equity Fund provides investors with a simple way to obtain a cost-effective geared exposure to the returns of the U.S. share market

The Fund is ‘internally geared’, meaning all gearing obligations are met by the Fund, such that there are no possibilities of margin calls for investors

The Fund combines funds received from investors with borrowed funds, and invests the proceeds in a portfolio that provides exposure to a broadly diversified share portfolio consisting of the largest 500 shares listed in the US by market capitalisation

The Fund’s gearing ratio (total amount borrowed expressed as a percentage of the total assets of the Fund) will be managed between 50-65%

Gearing magnifies gains and losses and may not be a suitable strategy for all investors.

Advantages

Access – ability to obtain magnified returns to the U.S. sharemarket as simply as buying any share on the ASX

**Costs expressed as a percentage of gross asset value of the Fund. Certain additional costs apply. Please refer to PDS.

* As at 25 May 2018. Calculated as Fund borrowings divided by
Fund total assets. Current Gearing Ratio is as at start of the above date and can be expected to
vary throughout the day.

**Represents the Fund's approximate exposure, for the above date, to movements in the U.S. share market (as measured by the S&P 500 index). For example, if the Fund's gearing multiple is 2.1x, and the S&P 500 index goes up 1% that day, the Fund would be expected to go up approximately 2.1% that day. The Fund is actively managed and the gearing multiple will change on a daily basis, affecting returns over time.

Chart

Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. Returns are calculated in Australian dollars using net asset value per unit at the start and end of the specified period and do not reflect brokerage or the bid ask spread that investors incur when buying and selling units on the ASX. Returns are after fund management costs, assume reinvestment of any distributions and do not take into account tax paid as an investor in the Fund. Returns for periods longer than one year are annualised. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.
